Been actively watching MMA for just over a year now and the weekly UFC events aren't becoming enough to hold me down! What are some other good promotions to watch? I've tried watching a Bellator event before and it was quite terrible (Mir vs. Nelson late last year) So is there any others I should try and give a watch? Cheers!

I think you should check out ONE Championship. You can watch a lot of their fights and full events on youtube.

One is good a lots of variety proam to good pros.

Smellator often stinks some talent their sadly most missmatches.
I like rizn..if there still around kinda like pride mixed with dream.

Haha everybody knew tepid was gonna say that!

Unfortunately you ain't gonna get to watch much high level mma during these crazy times. Be thankful for what u get.

When **** gets back to normal. PFL is good, ONE is good, even bellator is good you gotta catch it on a good night. Sometimes my favorite invicta FC!!!

@free

I mentioned ONE because you don't have to subscribe to anything to watch it.  You have to subscribe to UFC Fight Pass to watch Invicta FC, and you have to subscribe to DAZN to watch Bellator.

I think ACA is the excellent. I rarely ever get to watch it but when I do I enjoy it more than ONE and Bellator. RIZIN is a ****show IMO. Japan needs a new premier promotion.

@tepid I know bud I like that about one. 
You can also watch Bellator on paramount when it's not a ppv. Plus pfl I catch on TV too. Plus what Chris said.

i watched Alvarez and DJ fight in ONE and the competitiveness over there is crazy compared to some of what the west would consider the best! I'm not sure if DJ was having a little bit more adversity only because the dudes are way bigger fighting there at 135. But Alvarez just got cleaned.

@danye3

I think PFL is the best American promotion, because their events are structured like a season similar to the NFL.

My personal favorite is WCMMA (Warrior Challenge Mixed Martial Arts). It's a smaller promotion in Britain with most of the fighters being amateurs or professionals early in their careers so it's not UFC level quality but I personally like watching young up and coming fighters as you don't know what to expect from them. This was one of the first promotions that I started to watch and is one of the main reasons why I started following MMA. Occasionally they also mix it up with a bit of kickboxing as well. Well worth checking out!

WSOF/PFL was my favorite next to UFC. Never missed a Thursday

I find PFL to be boring in my oppion because they fight safe for a 1 million, Find Bellotor to be **** because they have 50 years old main eventing still, Invicta to be **** because  no finish because it all WMMA, Love LFA and Cage Warrors because they're feeder league into the UFC with lots of great finsih, Rizen, One, KSW and ACA are fun to and I super exited for them to come back

The dude who cleaned Alvarez is much bigger than him as well. Plus Eddie been in too many wars. He’s in the get paid and wind down of his career.

KSW is great based of the walk outs alone.
